With significant new partners including Bank of
America, Vantiv and Vengo, the company sees more than 200 percent
year-over-year growth in shipments of its unattended payment
solutions
At the annual NRF Conference & EXPO, Retail’s BIG Show,
in New York City, Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346
- ING), the global leader in seamless payment, reported today that
it achieved over 200 percent year-over-year growth in shipments of
its suite of iSelf Series solutions as a result of new additions to
the Ingenico Group Unattended Partner Program. By adding a number
of reputable partners, including Bank of America, Bluefin, Shift4,
Vantiv and Vengo, Ingenico Group saw its single largest deployment
of unattended payment solutions in 2016.
Launched last year at NRF, the program’s members are made up of
the top kiosk providers, value-added solution providers, system
integrators and payment solution providers who make up the
ecosystem necessary for secure unattended payments. Today, the
Ingenico Group Unattended Partner Program includes 22 members, and
each organization has access to the full suite of Ingenico Group’s
PCI-certified, NFC and EMV-enabled iSelf Series solutions,
including its latest offering, the iUC285 and its hardware and
integration kits as well as connections to all other partners in
the ecosystem to create integrated solutions.
The members of the Ingenico Group Unattended Partner Program
include:
Payment Solution Providers: Bank of America Merchant
Services, Bluefin Payment Systems, Creditcall, Datacap Systems,
FreedomPay, Shift4, Tempus Technologies, TrustCommerce and
Vantiv.
Kiosk Providers: Connected Technology Solutions (CTS),
Flex, Image Manufacturing Group (IMG), KIOSK Information Systems,
Olea Kiosks, SlabbKiosks, Vengo and ZIVELO.
System Integrators: INTOUCH, Livewire and Nanonation.
Value-Added Solution Providers: Unattended Card Payments
(UCP)
“Being a part of Ingenico Group’s Unattended Partner Program not
only gives us access to the latest payment acceptance devices for
our kiosks, but also provides us with the companies we need to work
with within the payments ecosystem,” said Steven Bofill, co-founder
and chief of design for Vengo. “It was critical for us to utilize
an affordable, PCI compliant, all-in-one reader and Ingenico
Group's iUC285 smart terminal met all those requirements.
Integrating with Ingenico Group's device and security platform has
opened us up to a greater number of locations and with the payment
acceptance options made available by Ingenico Group, we’re able to
accept a variety of electronic transaction types that are necessary
to engage today’s consumers.”
The secure range of modular, unattended smart terminals enables
organizations that haven’t previously been able to deliver such
offerings and create new revenue streams, while businesses who
already have self-service solutions in place can now upgrade their
machines to accept EMV and NFC-enabled payment methods like Apple
Pay and Android Pay. Combined with a complete development suite,
dedicated support team, and access to Ingenico Group's sales
channels as well as the entire unattended partner ecosystem,
Ingenico Group’s solutions help every partner prepare for the
future by enabling the acceptance of all payment methods, without
the need for a cashier or attendant.
“In its first year, our Unattended Partner Program has been
highly successful, with a number of implementations across
different industries, including education, retail, hospitality,
parking and vending, among others. In the last two years alone
we’ve created over 10,000 purchase points with our unattended
terminals, and having a variety of partners within our ecosystem of
kiosk providers, system integrators, value-added solution providers
and payment solution providers, makes it easy to create the right
solutions for all of our customers,” said Greg Burch, head of
product, software for Ingenico Group North America. “With more and
more people moving away from cash, vending machines and kiosks have
taken a hit in the past five years. But being able to provide
secure electronic payments methods like EMV and NFC makes it easier
for consumers to make quick purchases from unattended payment
solutions.”
